So many Rwandan families are headed by
women and children. Over 100,000 families are headed by a child and children
constitute a massive 50% of the population. The devastated male population
led to huge skills shortages,
preventing otherwise simple
steps to regeneration. Rwanda’s women have filled the gaps left by
their fallen men, and now form over 60% of the entire workforce of the country.
Due to the skill shortages regeneration can be very slow. This barrier to
development means the people of Rwanda continue to suffer the horrific affects
of the genocide.
